1 month, no way....try 4 months

  #4

there are stories of guys who studied from 2 weeks to 4-6 months for this step. It varies, like the previous steps, depends on each person.

Maybe i should´ve specified. 1-2 months can be enough if you have Clinical experience and preferently if you have done and passed step 2ck a couple of months ago.

Gee, I don't know, It depends on how many synapses you have among your neurons...to me it took me like mmm....smmmfff......mmm.....4 years?shaking headraised eyebrownod

You need to look at YOUR time frame, YOUR material for studying, divide the material according to the time, make a plan with what you have and see how you do. If it does not work ( you get too bored or too busy, etc) then adjust your plan again and again until you are at the top of your performance! Two months for some people and for me are not the same. Some people can sit straight for 2-3 hours studying, I sometimes could barely keep myself quiet for 20-30 minutes....sticking out tongue and then some other obligation used to come along...it was a real challenge!

What is important is to review as much material as possible give good time to get used to the ccs format, and have time to prepare mentally and physically to do QUESTIONS on a test where you sit pretty much for 8 hours straight, two days on a row...and where they do not even let you bring your water to the testing room. IT'S INSANE!!!!!!!shocked
